Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has unveiled a dramatic hair transformation – and fans are obsessed.

The actress, who played Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap, showed off a stylish dark brown bob on Instagram.

‘New Hair,’ the 33-year-old penned.

‘Back to the dark side! By the absolute best @natalieaustonhair.’

Fans showed their appreciation for Georgia’s new do, with @rebeccaryan___ replied: ‘Gorgeous!! Love the dark.’

@zoe_tongexx added: ‘Oooooh not seen you dark since way bk, when you first moved in nxt door & your hair was down your back , it looks fab xxx.’

This comes after Georgia urged people to be kind, after receiving negative reactions to her health condition.

Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared a picture of the patches of vitiligo on her hand, which she explained became more noticeable after tanning on holiday.

‘Everytime I go on holiday and I get a beautiful tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever before,’ she wrote.

She went on to explain how the condition sometimes leaves her feeling ‘insecure’, but that the support her loved ones show makes her ‘heart feel full’.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as accepting of her condition.

‘I’ve noticed people staring, having a good old nosey with their faces screwed up, and that’s when my heart drops,’ she continued.

‘So this is just a friendly reminder to those people to be kind. I’m sure the way it makes you feel is nothing in comparison to how the person with it feels.’

She concluded: ‘I’m proud to be a voice for people like me with the condition. I battle with how I feel about it every day. Today’s one of those days I remember there is nothing I can do about it. So here we are. Showing it in all its glory ( I do have lipstick on, but my whole colour has now gone in and around my lips)

‘And please. Let’s be kind.’
